MINNEAPOLIS — As is almost always the case, both Prince and the Replacements will have limited-edition LPs hit the shelves on Record Store Day 2022, the master list for which arrived Wednesday.
However, two other names on the list from Minnesota come as a bigger surprise for the April 23 bonanza at independent record stores: a long-lost LP by Bob Stinson's last band the Bleeding Hearts, and a first-ever vinyl edition of supergroup Golden Smog's debut EP.
"Been a long time coming!" Stinson's Bleeding Hearts bandmate Mike Leonard said Wednesday, stealing the name of an album by his other band, the Magnolias: "The title 'Better Late Than Never' would have fit here.'
